Soul Calibur IV has broken Nintendo’s stranglehold on the top end of the British sales charts. At least for this week. Take a look at the chart and only Soul Calibur 4 is the non Nintendo system title that managed to latch on to the top 20.

Looks like me getting a PS3 for FF13 wont be necessary after all as Square-Enix announced Final Fantasy XIII for Xbox 360 at Microsoft’s E3 2008 press conference.
